Jean-Paul Gaultier's Classique is lovely, and very popular, but unfortunately it's not cheap! Not sure what your budget is for her present, but I managed to get a small 20ml bottle of the EDT version for £25-ish the other day.

This is what I use, I have 3 bottles of it on the go at the moment (courtesy of duty free ) but it is expensive like you say. I know you say you don't want a pop star one, but Brittany Spears does surprisingly good purfume and it isn't that expensive. Other than that, Vera Vang is another one Miracle by Lancome is really nice.

D&G light blue is nice and fresh.

Expensive stuff - though I hear good things.
OP, if you decide to go with this, I have a 100ml bottle of this, still sealed in original packaging.
I'll do you a deal!

Marc Jacobs Daisy without a doubt:)

Thank you all for your responses

Lots for me to think about - I'm going to go and have a sniff at some tomorrow

I used to work in a pharmacy so I sold perfume and Jean Paul Gaultier and D&G Light Blue were bought by older ladies (30+) in my experience. I loved Tommy Girl as a teenager (I'm 24 now) but that's probably a bit out-of-fashion now.

I don't know how fashinable it is but Tommy Girl is half price at the moment so is one I was going to look at!

It is nice and my mum (who's 49) also likes it. It doesn't last on the skin very long though.

I also agree that Britney perfumes are lovely and really good value! You can get 100ml bottles of the Fantasy range ones for about £20. People have asked me what my perfume was before and been shocked when I said it was Britney.

I agree with Paul Smith perfumes, they're light and floral. I also like Stella McCartney's L.I.L.Y which comes in a lovely bottle.

Some of the Benefit eau de toilettes are nice, and the bottles are quite quirky

Hi all

I've had a lovely morning sniffing different beautiful fragrences!

In the end, I did go for the Tommy Girl. Very pretty smell and I think will suit my friend's daughter.

Thanks for all the advice
